Chapter 27
No one knows what happened on the night of April 29th. Nakahara Chuuya had a thrilling birthday, countless people had nightmares all night, and two foreigners moved into the shrine near the Yamate cemetery.
The people of the flag club slept for a night, but when they woke up they found that the protagonist of the banquet had disappeared.
As Chuuya Nakahara's neighbor, Ah-Dai was the first to find Chuuya Nakahara, who was talking to a red-haired man at the time.
"This job requires long-term business trips. The difference between this job and a courier is that you need to travel all over the country, and the goods include but are not limited to food and books, and they need to be delivered to the destination quickly." Zhongyuan Zhong also made many requirements for applicants.
The red-haired young man pondered for a moment and said: "It should be no problem, but the salary you offer for this job is far more than that of an ordinary courier." Because his last job was as a postman, the young man was very familiar with the salary level in this industry.
Since he is not very good at lying, Nakahara Chuuya looked away and tried to use euphemism: "The identity of the person picking up the goods may be a little special, but you don't need to worry about that, just deliver the goods."
"Well, a special identity? Is he the leader of a terrorist organization, an arms dealer, or a professional killer?"
"Hey, weren't you a postman before? Why are there so many dangerous people here!" Nakahara Chuuya was shocked.
The young man blinked innocently and replied, "The main cargo we delivered before was for those people."
The corner of Nakahara Chuuya's mouth twitched, but after thinking about it carefully, the identity of the city consciousness might be more dangerous than those people the young man mentioned. "I can give you another salary increase, provided that you don't inquire about the identity of the recipient."
After discussing the job details, Nakahara Chuuya suddenly remembered that his recruitment was not very formal. It seemed that there were no resumes and he didn't even know the applicants' names.
"Sorry, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"
"My name is Oda Sakunosuke, you can just call me Oda."
It wasn't long before the national express delivery service to Yokohama was successfully established through their conversation.
After Oda Sakunosuke left, Ah Dai Bird came over and bumped Nakahara Chuuya with his arm: "Chuuya, you left too early last night."
"You were the ones who fell asleep first!" Nakahara Chuuya responded with an elbow.
“Yeah, we actually fell asleep first.” Ah Dai Niao touched his cheek. He had the impression that they were the ones who instigated Chuuya to drink. Could it be that Chuuya had a good alcohol tolerance and made them all drunk?
"Never mind. I didn't have a great time last night. The pianist said there will be a party tonight. You must go. I'm sure you'll get drunk this time."
In the past, Nakahara Chuuya would have agreed. Although the sixteen-year-old boy had a terrible drinking habit, he was very keen on drinking. But it was different now. When he thought of the people living near the Yamate Shrine, he felt that if he drank, he would be lectured by more than one person.
"Ahem, my throat has been hurting lately, so I can't drink. I can't go to today's party either. Please tell them for me."
Tonight, Zhongyuan Zhong also has a "family dinner" to attend.
"How does it feel to let yourself go?" Shinichi Hinawa asked the Yokohama clone after the performance.
Yokohama's answer was quite reserved but also a bit satisfying, and it was obvious that he had tasted the taste: [It's OK, just like drinking a whole bottle of mellow red wine. ]
Shinichi Hinawa smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing to have a hangover occasionally." At least, letting some people have nightmares all night is better than further worsening the pollution in Yokohama.
[Well, I will control my alcohol intake.] Yokohama's voice sounded much more cheerful. Anyway, she decided to divide those people into two groups. The first group will have nightmares on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the second group will have nightmares on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. On the seventh day, everyone will have nightmares together.
After finishing the "after-sales visit" with Yokohama, Shinichi Hinata stretched his body lazily in the Tokyo Jujutsu High School.
Shinichi Hinawa temporarily plans to leave the story in Yokohama to Yashakari. She probably has other arrangements for Rimbaud and Verlaine.
After completing the required work, one naturally needs to have some rest time. In Tokyo, Shinichi Hinata is having his first holiday since joining the Jujutsu High School.
Because it was the weekend, Shinichi Hinata was able to get out of school and go strolling around the city. By the way, this was the first time Shinichi Hinata went out after the playground was repaired.
It should have been the safest area, but a troublemaker came and turned the student who was considered a model student into a troublemaker. As the class teacher, Ye Mo Zhengdao is now overwhelmed. His wrinkles are increasing day by day, and even his hairline is a little dangerous.
Especially after knowing about Shinichi Hinawa's part-time job as a teacher, Masamichi Yaga mistakenly thought that he was being bullied in the workplace. This sorcerer from an ordinary family treated the school doctor he hired very gently. After kindly asking about Shinichi Hinawa's current work situation, he always wanted to find a better job for him to prevent him from being persecuted by the students and teachers of the Jujutsu High School.
However, the poor little Hinawa Shinichi was not really pitiful, but he did not interrupt Yega Masamichi's imagination. After his salary received another small increase, he had enough money to go shopping in the city.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in the city, Shinichi Hinawa received news about the Kyoto split.
This is a new feature that the system has recently promoted. Originally, the city branches and the main body could communicate with each other, but the city branches could not communicate with each other. As a result, the city branches were so idle every day that they could only expand their hobbies and empty the wallets of the main body.
In line with the purpose of serving the host, the system immediately launched this function, allowing cities to chat privately or in groups.
"There are a lot of mini games in the apps on the phone, and you can even have video chats. Can yours do that?"
The system was silent for a moment: […Maybe I can add more in the future?]
"Let me think about it. The conversion of points and money in the system mall? And the price of an ordinary mobile phone should be more cost-effective."
system:【……】
Kyoto: “So this function is useless!”
After a while, the system, which had emptied its own piggy bank to create new functions, became autistic, and Kyoto privately messaged Shinichi Hinawa to ask him to buy it with points.
“Wait until the system price drops before buying it.”
Shinichi Hinawa was curious: "Isn't it said that it's no different from a mobile group chat?"
Tokyo: "This system has signals everywhere. Besides, if others see the city using mobile phones, wouldn't our filter of omnipotence be broken?"
Shinichi Hinawa: "...That makes sense."
In the end, Shinichi Hirin spent his points to buy the product that the system had given up on by itself at a 10% discount, and was instead thanked for a long time.
Back to the topic, Shinichi Hinata, who was enjoying a relaxing holiday, just happened to receive a message from Kyoto, which was sent in the group chat.
Kyoto: [@日轮, #图片#, the auction is held in Tokyo, I want this. ]
Mihua: [Is the main body so rich now? Then I want to apply for Mr. Po's autograph session to be held in Mihua. Is it okay? ]
Sendai: [Then I also have something I want! ]
Saitama: [I want it too...]
Shinichi Hirin: “…”
Is it fun to fleece yourself?
He took a look at the picture sent by Kyoto. It was a vase that had sailed across the ocean from the Tang Dynasty during the Heian period. Kyoto was a collector and was particularly fond of items from the Tang Dynasty. He had a treasure house, and the items inside were all Kyoto's cherished collections.
Fortunately, most of the things in the treasure house were brought by Kyoto himself, and only a small part was collected with the help of Shinichi Hinawa. However, the prices were all paid by Kyoto himself, and Shinichi Hinawa was just responsible for running errands.
The cities have a high degree of freedom and most of them have their own ways of making money. Regarding the incident in which Kyoto "accidentally" posted the photo in the group chat, Shinichi Hinawa felt that this could be understood as some kind of fishing method.
Sure enough, after a while, the fish was caught.
Tokyo: [This is something I have here, you can buy it if you want! @京都]
Kyoto: [But at an auction, isn't it that once you buy something, it becomes the buyer's gift? If I buy it, it's naturally mine.]
Soon, the cat-loving Nekomata started to get angry, and the cat-loving master Kyoto took the opportunity to appease him. Recently, the relationship between Tokyo and Kyoto has become a little awkward. After receiving Edo's memories, Tokyo has changed its original appearance of being a little fan of Kyoto and finds Kyoto unpleasant in every way.
However, children can throw tantrums, but adults will not be willful. Hinawa Shinichi guessed that Kyoto deliberately staged this scene in order to ease the relationship with Tokyo, and the result was just as Kyoto wanted, the kitten was successfully stroked.
After a while, Shinichi Hinawa, who was watching silently on the side, received a private message from Osaka, saying that he should never provoke Kyoto in the future.
Osaka is also a relatively young city. Its prototype is the Zashiki-warashi who can bring wealth and happiness to the house. There are no noisy children of the world in Osaka City. The Zashiki-warashi is happy and free. His favorite thing to do is to find a deserted place to watch the fireworks during the fireworks festival.
Kyoto is the oldest city among all the cities. It is friendly and kind, and is keen to help other cities. Therefore, it is very popular among other cities and has a tendency to become a big brother. However, intuitive creatures like Osaka avoid Kyoto most of the time.
However, Shinichi didn't care about these things, and didn't intend to interfere with their relationship. After all, those cities were all split off from him, and any conflicts were at most schizophrenia.
When the chat in the group chat ended, he indeed received a private message from Kyoto.
Kyoto: [Please buy the vase later, or Tokyo will get angry.]
Ri Lun: [Are you willing to do that?] Given Kyoto's personality, he would like to empty the entire city to house his favorite Tang Dynasty utensils.
Kyoto: [Tokyo doesn’t allow it, so wait until it’s sold, then look for a buyer. ]
After finishing the private chat with Kyoto, Shinichi Hinawa took another look at the group chat. The topic in the group had changed again. It was now about the new express delivery service launched in Yokohama. If you need to purchase something on someone's behalf, please hurry up.
After reading this, Shinichi Hinata no longer paid attention to the group chat. His purpose of coming out this time was definitely not just to breathe fresh air.
Shinichi Hinawa walked around the street for a few laps. According to the secret information he had received not long ago, he needed to go to a secret laboratory today to hand over information.
It is somewhat ironic that he has just solved a laboratory in Yokohama that studies artificial superpowers, and he is about to take the initiative to enter a laboratory in Tokyo. According to the investigation of the cities, the laboratory in Yokohama is inextricably linked to this organization. This organization is keen on studying "abnormalities" and hopes to have a way to control these "abnormalities".
It is still in the city of Tokyo, but already close to the suburbs. It does not have the hustle and bustle of Tokyo as a metropolis. Shinichi Hinawa took a taxi to a winery here. They sell high-quality wines. Although there are few customers, the wines are of good quality and are well-known in the industry.
The advantage of using a winery as a cover is that normal transactions conducted above can conceal the entry and exit of many goods. Another point is that the winery needs to store wine, so a considerable underground space can be expanded under the guise of digging a cellar.
"Hello sir, how may I help you?"
"I'd like to buy a batch of vodka and absinthe."
"Excuse me, what do you plan to do with them?"
"I want to use them to make Yokohama."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed attendant took Shinichi Hinawa to the basement under the pretext of taking him to choose some wine. The conversation between the two was exactly the code that Shinichi Hinawa had received before.
In a corner of the wall of the wine cellar, a silver-white display screen appeared after a series of operations by the waiter. After he skillfully input a number on it, a piece of the flat wall suddenly protruded. This was the elevator hidden in the wine cellar that led directly to the laboratory below.
Shinichi Hinawa tried to find out: "What is the organization researching here?"
However, the attendant who opened the door was just a low-level employee who had never been to the laboratory: "I don't know what happened in the laboratory. You will know after you go in."
Shinichi Hinata had no choice but to walk into the elevator by himself. As the elevator rose and fell, he reached his destination after a slight sense of weightlessness. However, as soon as he stepped out, a cold tubular object was pressed against the back of his head.
